The City of Chicago is the last ocean steam
ship which has tried to get over into Long
Island Sound by footpath. Happily. the at
tempt was attended with no disaster, for, after
getting nicely on to an opposing sand-bar. the
captain was able to back out of his task by
throwing overheard some of the cargo. The
excuse for the accident is fog and strong cur
rents. Possibly the captains willingness to
run some risk rather than prolong the voyage,
to the disgust of the passengers and the COM
paDy, had something to do with it.

The Pennsylvania oil fields are virtually
idle. The producers are bankrupt and
have shut of production as last and
desperate chance of relief. The regions
that have produced millions upon millions
of dollars worth of petroleum are to-day
little better OFF than if the golden fluid had
never been discovered. Sheriff's sales
are the most conspicuous signs every
where. Splendid residences that were
built Ivy the lucky oil seeker in the palmy
days before IS ale the only indications
that prosperity once abided with the pro-
ducer. Even these are sadly out Of
repair, and the once fortunate owner who
found the roOmy mansion too small for his
swollen wealth now discovers that he has
a white elephant on his hands, and is con-
tent to occupy two or three looms Of the
dwelling letting out the remainder to
dodgers. Men who formerly had an Income
of S25, 500, 500 a day from their wells
now get laborer's wages.
Many OF the larger producers are run
ming their wells at loss. Hundreds of
drllers, tool dressers, bumpers and RIG
carpenters are out of work because almost
no wells are going down, and those now
i'm operation are worked in the most
economical manner possible. Wages have
not been so low since oil was discovered.
If this depression continues for another
six months those still engaged in the oil
business will quit it, as many hundreds
have already done,

from statements made by one of the Tole
dc, Peoria IL Western company employees
who worked at the Chatsworth wreck
night and day until it was cleared away,
he is convinced that 1875 persons lost their
lives at that place. The official says that

bodies being taken out dead, which were
ship ed away to various parts of the coun-
Try as rapidly as possible. This evidence
is corroboIated by the statements of resi-
dents of Peoria. They say that number
Of young men went out TO the scene of the
wreck on the first relief train and remain

that they had counted 40 bodies taken
ont up to the time they left, and that it
was believed that several more had been
entirely consumed in the wreck.

company, which had its extensive works
ust below Delray, near Detroit on the
River road. At S15 on the morning OF
August 20, the works took fire, blaze
originating in the dry kiln, where it had
evidently been working for some hours,
as IL broke out in several places at the
same time. The fire spread from one an
other of the company buildings, being
aided in its progress by the piles of dry
and seasoning lumber and quantities OF
shavings accumulated all over the grounds.
The works included eight buildings, and
in an hours time the last of these was q
wreck. The total loss is fully 100000,
with a meagre insurance of $40, coo.

Insurlng the Holsters.

The graveyard insurance companies
which were driven out of Michigan by the
law passed last winter have found Sc
cure Judgment in Indiana, and have al
ready begun to cause trouble, the auditor
of state being daily in receipt of letters
concerning their methods. They have
filed the necessary articles Of incorpora-
ton and made the statements required UNI
der the law, and this, in the present con-
dition of legislation in that state, appears
10 be all that is required.
The report of the American mutual Of
Elkhart shows that COZ persons have been
insured, and more than one-half of these
are over 20 years of age; SO persons thus
insure are "a years old or over that age.
The report further shows that a large
number of policies have matured, but on
none of them was the full amount paid.
One woman writes to the auditor and COM
plains of the swindling companies, saying
that she psid in about $3.50, and when the
policy maturel she received but $50, in
stead of 81, 600. From reports received at

number of people have been victimized by
the companies.

An Anti-Russian Society.

An Anti-Russian Treaty Society has
been formally organized in Chicago. The
society aims to defeat the projected treaty
between the United States and Russia.
1t will commence at once to hold mass
meetings, distribute pamphlets, etc., and
will try to have kindred societies formed
throughout this country. The first mass
meeting there will be presided over, it is
said, by a prominent judge. One of the
promoters of the society says: cit has
been stated that the society's projectors
are mainly Nihilists or Anarchists. This
is emphatically not the case. A treaty
between this country and Russia is I'm
some points Of view an absurdty. There
already exists an understanding whereby
murderers and felons are extradited and
anything more is unnecessary. With
Russia 1t is entirely different. There the
only freedom still remaining to the polit
cal offender is the freedom of flight"
